Product Description
Product Description
Drury 's Management & Cost Accounting is the market-leading European text on management accounting and is a comprehensive authority on all aspects of the subject. The book has been streamlined and substantially redesigned in its 6th edition to make the book even more suitable for the needs of today 's student. There are both printed and web-based resources for the book at www.drury-online.com. The site is packed with valuable resources for students and lecturers. There are resources that are open to access for all and there are resources that are restricted to lecturers ' use only. The aim of the sixth edition is to explain the principles involved in the design and evaluation of management and cost accounting information systems. The emphasis in the book is on management accounting systems - those that are used to accumulate, classify, summarize and report information that will be used for internal decision-making purposes within an organisation. However, cost accounting systems, that record cost information for external reporting and internal profit measurement purposes, are also comprehensively covered. This new edition has been brought full up to date with the latest developments in the subject, is stronger pedagogically with the addition of answers to questions, and now contains more real-world mini-cases to bring home the relevance of the subject matter to the real world of business.

This book covers the whole field so it's not ideal if you need a quick introduction to the subject. But for anyone studying management accounting it provides an excellent resource for learning and testing your skills.
The student's manual is highly recommended too.

I am a first year accountancy student at the University of Glasgow, and the accompanying textbook for this workbook (Management & Cost Accounting, by Colin Drury) was the prescribed text for my management accounting course. Unfortunately, I found that the main textbook had weaknesses in certain areas, namely the lack of worked solutions to the often very demanding end of chapter questions.
Nevertheless, the student's workbook has proved to be an essential companion to the textbook. It contains a considerable amount of worked solutions to end of chapter questions. These were especially helpful, especially in the areas of the course where I am having difficulty.
I would recommend this book to other accountancy students who are reading the parent textbook and having difficulty in a lot of the areas. However, those students who are not having many difficulties (although there are few of them!) would probably be just as well off without the student's workbook.

Book overall is very good the only issues I would have with it is that some of the questions are too long or too much information in them which can be confusing.
In some sections I think he could have simplified them more while in other areas I think he should have just cut to the chase rather than go overboard with the explanation of what you are studying.
I would advise anyone starting out in accountancy/management accounting to probably buy a for dummies book or similar to go with this as a companion in case they get lost in the subject.
